Jerry Cahill: To the Brink and back after lung, liver, and kidney transplants
A young man’s life allowed me to continue mine. How could I do anything but honor his kindness and love by living my life to the fullest?

There’s so much more to my story and I’d love to one day try to bring awareness to ICU delirium and how serious it can be.
Without my transplant and donor, I wouldn’t be here to write this, and I would have died living a lie. This month will be the first Pride Month I get to openly celebrate and enjoy.
I would not be alive today if it weren’t for the selfless act of another human making the decision to donate organs.
Each day, I think about my angel donor and family. I am alive because they made a decision in their time of unbearable grief.
